The Board of Commissioners recently approved two road improvement projects in the northern area of Gwinnett.
One project will widen Thompson Mill Road near its intersection with SR 13/Buford Highway to four lanes with a center turn lane. The project is funded by the County and the city of Buford. The project cost is not to exceed $1.5 million.
The second project will improve the intersection of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Suwanee Dam Road by adding a southbound through-lane along Peachtree Industrial from Suwanee Dam to Grand Teton Parkway. Construction includes converting the single left-turn lanes on Suwanee Dam to dual left-turn lanes, along with the installation of new traffic signals. This project cost is capped at about $2.9 million.The cost of both projects is covered by the 2017 SPLOST program.
